Outsourcing the technical grading of college papers

When a student turns in a paper, the professor sends it to RichFeedback, which then passes it along to its own tutors, mostly based in India. According to the Fresno Bee, the tutors return the papers "covered with color-coded corrections, suggestions for improvements and references to class text examples." Then professors only have to spend time evaluating a paper's subject-matter content.

So is it a big deal if the person correcting your paper is in India instead of on campus?

Of course the 'person in India' also could be 'essay grading software'...
